Hi, this is Jenifer here with you today to share my Stars and Stripes post.  Stars and Stripes always remind me of the United States, the Flag and the 4th of July but I wanted to create a more subtle layout for my post. This is really a simple layout that packs a big punch.  I did the stars using Melt it California Sunshine, Earthtone Honey and Sierra Sunrise.I then created the stripes using a ruler and a Wow Pen and embossing powders Earthtone blueberry, Earthtone Honey and Skyline Grey.  I love how it all came together, all the colors blend perfectly.


Wow Supplies Used: Melt it California Sunshine Earthtone Honey Sierra Sunrise Earthtone Blueberry Skyline Gray

Today I am going to create a card and although I am starting off with this amazing fun 6x6 paper from Prima, I am actually going to create my own background using this baby as a base. First off you will need some Double Sided Tape in any size you like. I decided to use 3 different sizes here. 

Rip off pieces of the Double Sided Tape and place them on your page to make stripes. You can do them as close or as far apart as you like and you can do any pattern you like if you are using more than 1 thickness. 

Once the Double Sided Tape is all adhered, trim off the excess using your craft knife or a pair of scissors. I found this step easier by flipping it all upside down and using my craft knife carefully.

Next step of course is to remove the backing off the tape. My girls helped with this part LOL t…

Hi everyone! Birgit here from the Netherlands. It's cold, windy and rainy here so perfect weather to stay inside and create! And how fun it is to create with these fantastic WOW embossing powders! Love the colors and the structure! And the stamps... just gorgeous! I'm very excited to share my first layout here. I love to create with little strips and blocks of paper in different colors and with different patterns. I'm always left with a lot of scraps, big scraps, because sometimes I only use a one inch strip of a whole sheet of paper. Recognize that? So why not create your own patterned paper and bring 1 single sheet of cardstock to great value? For this layout I cut half a sheet of white cardstock into strips of different sizes. I stamped the strips with a variety of stamps and embossed them with different colors. The tickets and leaves where also stamped on white cardstock and embossed. The little butterflies are actually part of a flower stamp (Gratitude) of which I only use…
